Can the photo Sensor chamber be cleaned easily on this model?

Only by using canned air. Are you sure they still sell these? I thought they discontinued them. Make sure you're far from a cooking or heat source or they will be screaming constantly

It's easy to remove the cover and vacuum the unit. This is all the cleaning it has ever needed for us-- and it is a necessary part of keeping the unit from false alarming.I clean them when I change the batteries--so far, about every 2 years.

If you are asking if the sensor itself can be cleaned, I don't think so. I recall the instructions recommend simply vacuuming the unit once a month but this is a pretty standard sealed unit, minimal maintenance sort of detector.

Cleaning isn't required or possible, since the unit burns mold particles rather than filters air. Ours seemed very effective. We use it to reduce molds that come in from the open window. Our first unit lasted 2.5 years before burning out this past weekend. We'd already bought a second unit for a different location. I'll be buying a replacement for the one that just died.

No. A big NO! You should only ask a certified technician or someone with experience to clean your camera's sensor because its a very sensitive component. Use the air blower to remove any dust from your sensor if you think there are dusts on it. If you see a smudge even after blowing the sensor with the air blower, its likely that there is oil residue on your sensor & only get a certified or experienced technician to clean your sensor. Hope this help.

I'm not sure which model is the easiest to clean after use but I can say this one was very easy. Cleaned right up. Be sure to follow the directions to prep the unit for use.

I'm ok with the basic cleaning, but two things annoy me. 1: the chrome shutter disk is difficult to clean, since it appears to 'bake on' the grinds. It cannot be removed and needs to be scrubbed to clean off the cooked on grounds. 2: Not sure how to run the last batch of beans through the grinder before cleaning the grinder. This has required me to hand pick out the beans from the grinder. A tedious process at best. Any suggestions or hints on the above two items would be appreciated.

This camera is great and I have never used a camera in a housing before. The downside to this camera is that after you get out of the water there are spots on the lens that need to be cleaned carefully. I assume a housing would keep the lens clean and you wouldn't risk scratching it while cleaning it. Other than that, this camera is awesome under water.

I have not had that problem. I do clean the canister and filters often though.

I have yet to do a whole system clean, but as for washing the pot and filter holder it's not bad, though I use a qtip on the filter basket to get the corners:-)

I got two of these units to replace the existing Model #1275's that I had for 10 years. I never cleaned the inside and wouldn't recommend doing it because of the sensitive electronics inside. I would vacuum the outside. The units should not be painted. The only time the cover needs to be removed is to replace the 9 V. battery every 1-2 years. Removal instructions are imprinted on the cover. The cover twists off so the battery can be replaced and is held by a wiring harness and connector. The connector does not have to be removed from the cover to change the battery. I hope this is helpful. Regards, Bob P.

If you are getting dust in that short of time frame, you are probably not changing your lenses carefully enough. Always keep the body lens side down, turn off the camera and then change lenses. I've got over 50k shutter releases on my D700 and have only had to clean the sensor once. In the mean time get a blower (Giotto's) and use that to blow the dust from the mirror chamber.

I agree with Lawis' answer below. The old sensor can be removed from the fixture and replaced with this one.

Hi Lori, It's very easy to clean as long as you have a hose nearby. Just spray the entire unit the debris container comes out easily as do the filters.

I read somewhere that the XT and XTi have the same sensor, but the XTi has more pixels crammed into it, which is bad for some reason. As for cleaning the sensor, it's not much of a hassle to do that yourself.

The camera does a decent job once is fully dark, but during the change from day to dark is a little bit washed, also sometimes the motion sensor triggers with put actual motion with in the field of view. I am currently twiking the sensor levels

This issue is really most noticeable with photos. I think it is frequently because of dirt, debris, cat hairs in the unit. Most times I can open it up and swipe it clean with a microfiber cloth and resolve the problem. Be careful to not scan staples and such that might scratch the inner bits.
